Kodak DC40 - Manual (Page 28)

24 January 1996
3 Using Batteries
The DC40 camera comes with four AA lithium batteries. You can also
use rechargeable NiCad (nickel-cadmium) or AA alkaline batteries.
NiCad or lithium batteries will give you much better performance than
alkaline batteries.
You should be able to take hundreds of pictures with each set of lithium
batteries, however, using the flash requires more of the battery charge.
Transferring pictures to your computer also uses the battery charge.
You may want to buy a power adapter to use when taking pictures
inside and when transferring files. Refer to Chapter 4,
Using a Power
Adapter, for information about the power adapters that can be used with
the DC40 camera.
WARNING: Mixing battery types in the camera may cause a fire or
explosion. Install only batteries of the same type at
one time.
Lithium batteries contain toxic substances and
should be disposed of properly. Follow the battery
manufacturer’s disposal instructions, or the guidelines
recommended for your area.
